Medical MisDispencing of Drugs leading to a severe fall and crushed spine! Belfast

As a type II diabetic I had been taking medication for my peripheral neuropathy. I had been on this medication for a couple of years and it worked extremely well. I regularly attended the Diabetic Clinic in the Belfast ity Hospital every three months. This was for a general checkup. On my September checkup I was attended by a Lady Registrar who I had never seen before. She immediately told me I was using out of date treatment for my peripheral neuropathy. Cymbalta was now the number one treatmeent for my illness. I had to reduce my pregablin medication over two weeks then take the Cymbalta daily. What this Registar ommited to mention was the side effects in recommending this medicine. I suffered for three days, after starting Cymbalta, with nausia dizzyness and sweats. During one of the dizzy spells I fell on my bottom and severly damaged my spine. This was fifteen months ago and I still wear a spinal brace. Don't let someone who has never seen you before recommend NEW MEDICATION!
